The 9800 just arrived here in Korea and I noticed my first one yesterday still sealed in the box.On the box it stated in order to do 6 color printing an optional #99 and #100 cartridge would need to be purchased separately.

The dealer gave me a price equal to $480US.Now add the purchase price of the 2 cartridges and you're at $550US.

Not such a bargain in this locale.

Other printers are not much better in price but most have what you need to print the best the printer can do included in the box.
